department of energy. they do thing called love allies cost which takes into account all the capital costs of various plants but they indicate you can't really compare solar and wind to traditional forms of electricity because they count on the weather and the sun cycle but their estimates for 2011 placed wind at about $0.10 per kilowatt hour, coal and $0.09 per kilowatt hour, gas at $0.07 per kilowatt hour. let me add something. the department of energy added in artificial carbon costs to gas and coal which are not there today unless the senate passes a carbon tax bill and in addition, you have to build a coal and gas plant along with the wind systems so wind only replaces the variable cost of these plants. variable costs for coal is $0.03 per kilowatt hour and for gas about $0.05 per kilowatt hour so we in, on land wind is 2 to 3 times as expensive. offshore wind at $0.20 per kilowatt hour, solar at 20 to $0.30 per kilowatt hour, much more expensive. if you think they are competitive why does he keep pus
